After this last one you can hear some of the protesters shouting "Bernie, Bernie" which leads to the assumption that at least a portion of these Trump counter protesters are organized Sanders supporters looking to start a conflict.

Announcing your affiliation with Bernie Sanders does not seem like a good tactic if you are attempting to show how chaotic a Trump presidency would be.

Inside the building where Trump was holding his rally he had nothing to say about Sanders but plenty to say about Hillary, who had eviscerated him earlier in the day.

I assume the approach here is to suggest that the only thing that is keeping Hillary in line with the Obama policies is fear of prison over her e-mail server, which kind of ignores her stint as his Secretary of State, and her support BEFORE the Right Wing made an issue of the e-mails.

Like I have said before, this is only going to get much uglier as we head for November.

Update: Apparently the Bernie supporters were so aggressive that they attacked each other.

I love how people are trying to convince everybody that these must be plants by the Trump campaign.

...The entirety of Trump's campaign has been driven by building white backlash resentment against non-whites - mainly Hispanics and principally Mexican immigrants or their descendants. It's an escalating narrative: they're not us, they're dangerous, they're taking our stuff and pulling us down.

It's that mix of grievance and desire to reclaim what is being taken away, that desire for revenge that has been the centerpiece of Trump's campaign from the outset, far more than any sort of economic arguments or anything else. Racial appeals, dog-whistle and all the rest are certainly not new in American politics. But having a major party presidential candidate running an explicit racist campaign is quite new. Again, the attacks on Judge Curiel is entirely of a piece with everything Trump has shown us since he kicked this campaign off almost exactly a year ago.

Certainly not a second generation immigrant like Chicken Drumpf. His grandparents weren't U.S. citizens.

Or is he a citizen because he's WHITE?

Drumpf is just pissed because he bought off the Trump U. lawsuits in Texas and Florida but couldn't buy off Curiel. Curiel has taken on Mexican Drug Cartels that put a price on his head. He isn't going to be intimidated by the likes of the Orange Foolius.

Speaking in San Jose, June 2, 2016, after Hillary Clinton’s speech raked him ruthlessly over the coals of his own statements, Donald Trump confused his daugher Ivanka with his wife Melania, then quickly tried to backtrack and cover it up.

Let's not ignore his split personality. The tape of him pretending to be his own publicist and bragging about his tremendous business talent and all of the beautiful women in the world who want to sleep with him. John Milller or John Barron. No such people.

And he's obsessed with Barron as he finally named his most recent son Barron.

Just when Republicans thought that it couldn't get worse, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke out against everything Donald Trump represents while addressing graduates at the CCNY commencement ceremony.

...First Lady Obama’s remarks are the biggest sign yet that all of the White House is ready to join the fight to defeat Donald Trump.

Michelle Obama’s strong remarks added to the growing woes of the Republican Party. The GOP now has a nominee that has attacked the judicial system while facing fraud suits in the two biggest states in the country. As if this wasn’t enough to keep Republicans awake at night, the popular President and First Lady have signaled that they are gearing up to join the 2016 fight.

A deputy editor at Vox was suspended Friday after firing off a late night tweetstorm advising Donald Trump’s detractors to riot if the presumptive GOP nominee visits their cities.

Editor-in-Chief Ezra Klein published a short statement announcing that Emmett Rensin, deputy editor of Vox’s first person section, encouraged “dangerous” activity with his tweets and was suspended as a result.

The emails/server are a big issue no matter what "wing" you fall under. Hillary as a private citizen after her tenure as SoS,delivered her email server equipment and the contents within to a third-party private entity. Platte River Networks was without privilege to view, handle or store classified materials. We know this happened because the FBI picked the server up from PRN.“So Tuesday of last week, the 11th [of August, 2015], the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked us to turn over the email server that was located in the data center,” spokesman Andy Boian told Fox News’s Griff Jenkins. Boian continued, “On Wednesday we did. We turned it right over to the FBI.”http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/20/platte-river-networks-fbi-asked-us-to-turn-over-hillary-clinton-email-server/Here's the law she violated in doing this:18.793.(e)(e) Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it; Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."And then unbeknownst to her,PRN copied much of the contents of her server over to Datto, another third-party private entity.

@12:48 & 1:52You best wake the fuck up.The FBI picked up her server from PRN and is actively investigating all the emails that Hillary thought were deleted.Are you disputing that?https://polination.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/2015_08-18-hillary-clinton-did-i-wipe-with-a-cloth.jpg

@3:27Are you willfully ignorant,woefully naive or what?The link I provided is compellingly factual.Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it to not be true.The mission statement of this blog states:"This blog is dedicated to finding the truth, exposing the lies, and holding our politicians and leaders accountable when they fall far short of the promises that they have made to both my fellow Alaskans and the American people."Oh wait!Hop up one post and join the gossipy horseshit about Bristol.Like at the end of the day that makes a pimple on a flea's ass...

Yes, it is going to get uglier, and it becomes clearer every day that, with politics, Trump doesn't understand the game he barged his way into. One day after Ryan's capitulation, he's already saying he disagrees totally with Trump's insulting attack on the judge in the "University" case.

Imagine being somebody paid to teach Trump how to handle himself in this race, and then time and again, he gets in front of a mike to reveal his ugly true self. Doubtlessly, they get the blame later for Trump's own lack of self-control.

Five more months of this. I just might set a record for Advil ingestion this year.

When are Hillary and Obama going to step up and denounce these violent democratic protestors? These are their people, they own it. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed by these democratic thugs, just for peacefully attending a republican political event, and this will be squarely on the shoulders of Hillary and Obama.

2:14 - thinking isn't your forte (at all). Why do you think folks are angry? I'll answer it for you since you are too stupid to figure it out yourself. Trump hate mongering is the answer. Child, the idiot is you.

4:10, in the end, every individual is responsible for their indiviual actions. Every one of these criminals that showed up to cause violence and harm, is individually responsible for their own actions. No-one else is. Are you getting this yet?

I doubt very much if either Hillary Clinton or President Obama had anything to do with these protesters. Good grief! Hillary Clinton has already decried physical protesting and President Obama either engages hecklers in conversation after the event or tells people who yell things out - "don't protest, vote." In my opinion people who fight at political events go to them in order to fight. They are not really interested in politics; they want mayhem. Beaglemom

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I read any comments made by Trump, I can't help mentally hearing him spewing them out in that trademark snarl of his. It's like a [bad] song that keeps playing over and over in your head. I don't think I can take another five months of this. Is there such a thing as ear bleach?

Hillary Clinton on Friday condemned the violence that took place at a recent Donald Trump rally in California but blamed the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for inciting violence and challenged him to condemn such actions, too.

“I condemn all violence in our political arena,” Clinton told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview broadcast Friday. “I condemned it when Donald Trump was inciting it and congratulating people who were engaging in it. I condemn it by those who are taking violent protests to physical assault against Donald Trump.”

Clinton said the violence has to end but accused the real estate mogul of setting “a very bad example.” Trump has called his rallies “lovefests,” though he has also encouraged his supporters to “knock the crap out of” anyone with tomatoes and offered to pay the legal fees of supporters who are charged with violence at his rallies.

What happens when conservative lawyers from the Cato Institute, Georgetown University and the Hoover Institution get together?

Well, besides their opposition to Obamacare, they all come to the conclusion that Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President of the United States, is bad for the law.

In a recent article from the New York Times, these lawyers, all politically conservative, lambasted the billionaire mogul for his attacks against the First Amendment, individuals, the separation of powers, and the rule of law all together.

In other words, these lawyers, without saying it, contend that Trump would be more crooked, more criminal, and more disastrous than Richard Nixon.

Trump is becoming more unhinged everyday. He's tired. It's not fun anymore. The Republican attacks against him were nothing compared to what Clinton is about to unload on him - yesterday was a very good start. He can go after Hillary and Bill but we all know they are tough and are not thin skinned like he his

Why Millennials Love Bernie Sanders: This Is What Trump, Hillary—and Chris Matthews—Don’t Understand About How Politics Has ChangedThe media condescends to Sanders the same way it does to millennials. Maybe that's why he gets their concerns.Polls show that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have trouble appealing to young voters. In a recent study released by Harvard, millennial voters, aged 18-29, overwhelmingly favored Bernie Sanders. Sanders pulled a net favorable rating of 54 percent, Clinton only had 37 percent, and Trump pulled a miserable 17 percent of the same age group.

While the Harvard study shows that Sanders supporters will likely support Clinton if they have no other choice against Trump, the study also indicates that the Sanders campaign has made a lasting impression on young voters that will remain whether or not he wins the nomination. Polling director John Della Volpe explained that: “He’s not moving a party to the left. He’s moving a generation to the left. Whether or not he’s winning or losing, it’s really that he’s impacting the way in which a generation—the largest generation in the history of America—thinks about politics.”

Della Volpe’s work at the John F. Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics shows that over the course of the Sanders campaign young voters increasingly favored the campaign’s core issues. Tracking data over time, Della Volpe noted that there was a demonstrable shift towards progressive politics in the last year. In fact Max Ehrenfreund of The Washington Post suggests that regardless of what happens in the campaign “Sanders might have already won a contest that will prove crucially important in America’s political future.”

Trump Has Racist Meltdown And Blurts Out Look At My African-American In Middle Of Rally

...Trump just melted down in the middle of a rally and said something completely racist. Somebody might want to tell Trump that slavery is illegal. There are no African-Americans that are “his.” African-Americans are people, and Donald Trump doesn’t own his fellow human beings.

With one outburst, Trump proved that everything that Hillary Clinton is saying about him was true. Donald Trump divides everyone. When he looked into that California crowd, he didn’t see supporters. He saw white supporters and an African-American supporter. Trump has the temperament and impulse control of a toddler.

The man is a full-blown racist, who is an embarrassment to the United States of America. It will be a great day in our nation’s history when voters toss Donald Trump into the dustbin of presidential losers.

Hillary Clinton Surges To An 11 Point Lead As Trump Support For Trump Crashes

...The Trump bump has proven to be nothing more than a temporary illusion caused by a combination of Trump clinching the nomination, while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders continued to slug it out on the Democratic side. As Clinton has turned her attention towards the general election and is clearly going to be the Democratic nominee, the polls are reflecting the changing environment.

The national polling at this time of year does not mean much. The race will certainly shift after the candidates name their running mates and officially accept their parties nominations, but it looks like the surge in support for Donald Trump was never real.

Trump still isn’t leading in a single state that President Obama won in 2012, and with the bad publicity piling up around the Republican nominee on a near daily basis, chances are that things will get much worse for Republicans before Election Day.

A Third of Trump Supporters Say Clinton Has the Experience It Takes to Be President

More than six in 10 Americans say Clinton has the experience it takes to be president (62%)—twice as many as say this about Trump (31%). In fact, experience is Clinton's greatest overall strength from among those tested in the poll, and it is Trump's single weakest attribute.Of course, ratings among a candidate's supporters will be predictably higher. Yet, even among Trump supporters, 34% agree that Clinton has the experience it takes to be president.

“A dark side of me wants to see what happens if Trump is in. There is going to be some kind of change, and even if it’s like a Nazi-type change, people are so drama-filled. They want to see stuff like that happen. It’s like reality TV. You don’t want to just see everybody be happy with each other. You want to see someone fighting somebody.”

I think there is definite hate in the air. People have so much things they want to hash out with each other about the smallest of things, no wonder they are fist fighting at rallies. So much undefined anger. Bad parenting, tv indoctrination, bad education, narrow mindedness, and the list could go on to what ails us. Donald has just been capitalizing on all that. He knows what gets people going and he's taking the low road to get there. Hilary is trying to take the high road. But the audience is in a foul mood and wants to see blood. Was it Einstein that said, humans have to war every 2o years? We just want to sucker punch each other and not do the real work of talking it out. Typical behavior that has gotten us into trouble since forever!

“He’s absolutely operating as an intelligent, manipulative bully who truly does not care about the consequences of his actions,” Wiseman told the Daily Beast. “He delights in his own ability to manipulate and to show that nobody can stop him.”

At least two attorneys general, in Texas and Florida, knew about and planned similar investigations into the Trump University's dealings but then mysteriously dropped the probes after receiving campaign donations.

Chalk up one for Hillary's speech yesterday, it was Epic to everyone except Trump, who's slow on the uptake and acts like a belligerent baby having a temper tantrum in Toys r Us because mommy won't buy him the gold plated barbie dream house. Poor Don's been ruined for life when mommy said no.

@3:06Yup.And also here in Texas:http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/texas-official-trump-probe-dropped-due-politics-39598928 Ken Paxton himself is currently under indictment for felony fraud charges.You can't make this shit up.Also Trae weighs in on Trump!Liberal Redneck - The Truth About Trumphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsqKyv86pEY

Betcha! Warren's been courting this with her excellent Twitter attacks on Trump, and her speeches. Who wouldn't want to be part of such an historic ticket? The first all-female ticket in US history, and the one that will win! It would be a brilliant pick, shoring up the left, and showing that the Democrats are serious about gender equity. Meantime, Trump might pick Sarah for VP. Uh huh.

I'm a democrat but no fan of the Clintons. I'm reading..."The Clintons' War on Women." Apparently, Hillary didn't treat her staff very well. Besides this book, I guess the ex-members of the Secret Service are also writing a book.

In that book, it says the SS that covered her, called her plane..."Broomstick 1."

Here is a link to an article from the Daily Mail. The comments are scathing. If you are a fan of Hillarys, I don't think you'll want to read it:

Just a little confused about why you think this is an effective way to campaign for Trump, though. Blog comments are not really places of influence anymore--not compared to social media (Blog posts by Gryph, however, are). Maybe the GOP has just stopped training people?

I think this is how the GOP and Donald Trump are going to go after Hillary Clinton. They have nothing to offer because their candidate, Donald Trump, is a Know-Nothing egomaniac so they'll go after Hillary Clinton any way they can. Don't help them.Beaglemom

What I really fear is Hillary's extreme hawkishness will set off war in the Middle East or eastern Europe. Hillary is a staunch neocon and has orchestrated illegal and unwise military moves in Ukraine, Libya, the Balkans when she advocated for bombing of the former Yugoslavia in the First NATO war. She is short on diplomacy and big on violent, military interventions which have proven disastrous for the people of the countries involved and for our country as well--the latest in approving the right-wing coup in Honduras.

@12:48 It' not a smear when it's a fact. If you can cite facts showing when and where Hillary acted against neocon plans please post them.

And she certainly is a more of a neocon than Obama who deftly sidestepped a larger war in Syria that she and the neocons want. She has been a dependable part of the neocon clique in Washington for many years. (Also see Victoria Nuland, a Hillary SD deputy whose husband is Robert Kagan, and Seymour Hersh's article on the Libya arms to Syria pipeline if you want to get a deeper look at the Hillary's SD activities on behalf of neocon positions--positions which are spelled out in the neocon "Project for a New American Century" (PNAC) paper.)

What I find ridiculous is that issues that could lead to war and to serious domestic problems are not the subject of the media's ongoing attention--issues that could affect the entire world. The media act as if the election is a horse race or a circus brought to viewers to increase ratings.

1) FACT: Other male Senators & politicians still in office also voted for the vote to authorize the Iraq War, notably Biden, Kerry and Schumer, the next Dem. majority leader after Reid.

Have you called Kerry the War Sec. of State! Have you called Biden the War VP? No, you have not. That article is absurd.

2) FACT: President Barack Obama has final approval of all decisions during his presidency. Are you calling him a War President? If not, why not? State works for the President, not the other way around. Bone up on how gov't works!

12:48 And you have not addressed my point at all that Hillary is aligned, and has been for many years going back to the First Nato war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, with the neocons who are the war party that have run Washington's foreign policy going back to the 1970s.

Obama adopted many of their policies and suggestions but he is far from as belligerent as many of the neocons are. The PNAC paper right up to the latest reporting on neocon strategies for establishing what the they call "American hegemony" across the globe demonstrate how Hillary and her allies in Washington are highly invested in neocon beliefs and strategies. I gave you some references.

Many Dem. politicians besides Hillary are also hawks--that's not new. It remains to be seen what progressive Dems. like Sanders can do to return to diplomacy and peaceful methods of settling problems in place of endless war and dangerously escalating aggression.

Here's the end of the letter from the Bernie staffer who resigned in 1999:

"The House Resolution (S Con Res 21) of 4/29/99 which 'authorizes the president of the United States to conduct military air operations and missile strikes in cooperation with the United States' NATO allies against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia' supports not only the current air war but also its unlimited escalation. It thereby authorizes the commission of war crimes, even of genocide. Indeed, the very day after that vote, the Pentagon announced that it would begin 'area bombing,' which the Washington Post (4/30/99) characterized as 'dropping unguided weapons from B-52 bombers in an imprecise technique that resulted in large-scale civilian casualties in World War II and the Vietnam War.'

It was your vote in support of this resolution that precipitated my decision that my conscience required me to resign from your staff. I have tried to ask myself questions that I believe each of us must ask ourselves:

Is there a moral limit to the military violence you are willing to participate in or support? Where does that limit lie? And when that limit has been reached, what action will you take?"

@7:06, 7:12Hillary has been a staunch advocate of US military intervention for nearly 30 years. Sanders also voted against other militaristic policies the Clintons endorsed that brought much death and suffering.

Re: Sanders’ record on Yugoslavia, you have not addressed Hillary's part in that war and her advocacy for bombing civilian targets there. (See Diana Johnstone's reporting on this.)

Sanders voted against Bush I’s invasion of Iraq.

(He also correctly predicted that though the US would win the war it would cause serious destabilization and blowback in the Middle East.)

Sanders voted against the Iraq sanctions in the 1990s, sanctions promoted by President Bill and endorsed by Hillary Clinton.

(The sanctions were estimated by the UN to have killed more than 500,000 children under the age of 5 in Iraq by 1995. The UN administrator Dennis Halliday resigned over it. Even after that, Hillary continued to support the sanctions and the US ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright famously told reporter Leslie Stahl in 1996 “We think the price is worth it,” when Stahl asked her directly about the children’s deaths.)

"Donald Trump singled out a black supporter at a rally Friday, telling the crowd to “look at my African-American.”

Speaking at an event in Redding, California, Trump condemned the violent protests that had broken out after his campaign rally in San Jose the night before and called the protesters “thugs.” Trump claimed he always tells his supporters to “be very gentle” with demonstrators — despite having frequently encouraged violence at his campaign events.

Trump then launched into a story about a rally in Tucson, Arizona, where a black Trump supporter punched a protester wearing a KKK hood.

“We had a case where we had an African-American guy who was a fan of mine. Great fan. Great guy. In fact I want to find out what’s going on with him,” Trump said, before pointing to a man in the crowd. “Look at my African-American over here. Look at him. Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about? OK.”

“Everyone thought the African-American was against me,” he said about the incident at the Tucson rally. “And it was the opposite it.”"

Notice he said *MY* African American. Possessive. Property. not only that but he can't distinguish individuals. He can only recognize people en masse and identifies them by race or religion or gender. They are all lumped together and characterized/carricatured.

"Trump continued by insinuating that the media has hidden his black supporters.

“We have tremendous African-American support,” he said. “The reason is I’m going to bring jobs back to our country. But when these sleazy people, these dishonest people who never show the crowds ... When they showed that event, it made it look like the white guy was on my side.” "

Well, perhaps that is because the KKK approves of Trump and has endorsed him. Who wouldn't think a Black guy punching a White guy wearing a KKK shirt, the White guy would be the Trump supporter.? Especially since he called the protesters "thugs". Isn't that how he refers to black people? They're all thugs? Again, because he cannot differentiate them as individual human beings.

It's madness the way Trump talks. I love me some black people. The kkk? Never heard of them. I like Hilary. Hilary is a crook. I mean come on Donald stick to one thing. Your flip flopping all over the place is like Sarah Palin's schizo word salad. Don't let us ride this crazy train with you. You either are serious about leading the free wonderful world that people have fought and died for, or you want to turn us into one big circus. We are not that old and we don't need any upheaval. Don't take us to a civil war. You can't just tell us everything will be beautiful and will be explained as they unfold. Jeeesh. That's a sign of mental illness when you talk like that.

There are always all kinds of opportunists at 'protests'. Figuring out who yells what about whom is problematical.Don the Con's events attract and foment public craziness. The only takeaway is that most people can't stand the "Orange Foolius".
